Buffalo Bill Ice Cream Parlor

Buffalo Bill Ice Cream Parlor

Buffalo Ice Cream Parlor

This is where it all began. My grandfather Papa Paul opened this famous Ice Cream parlor in Chicago where the family worked seven days a week. It was located on 4000 Irving Park on the north side of Chicago. Local called it simply "The Buffalo". The place had leaded glass windows, dark walnut booths, a marble soda counter and murals with dancing cherubs. It smelled of sweet chocolate. As background noise, there was the comforting whirr of 20 malted milk mixers.
